## What is Lazy Skipper?

Lazy Skipper is an offline handbook and toolkit for sailing skippers and Day Skipper students. Everything works without signal: on the water, in the marina, in the exam room.

HANDBOOK
• VHF & distress: MAYDAY, PAN-PAN and SÉCURITÉ scripts line by line, with your vessel and position filled in; DSC, false alert, MAYDAY RELAY, channels, prowords, all Annex IV distress signals.
• Yacht anatomy: an interactive 3D sloop. Tap any part to learn its name and what it is for.
• Buoys & marks: IALA regions A and B with topmarks, lights and what-to-do diagrams.
• Lights, sounds & rules: 39 COLREG light configurations with night views, sound signals with playback, rules of the road explained by situation.
• Chart symbols: a guide to the symbols that matter to a yacht, plus the full US Chart No. 1 index.
• Knots with step-by-step figures, ICS flags, NATO phonetics and Morse.
• Weather: Beaufort and Douglas scales with illustrations, synoptic charts, tides and streams, winds of the world, forecasts by radio.

TOOLS
